Should I be concerned?
A woman waving a cane in front of her as she walks indicates that she is blind, right? So how is it that she can stop and fix her hair in a store-front window? Could she be faking it? This also reminds me of the time I overheard a woman boasting about how she had stopped taking her medication for a week and ran around the block a few times before going in to extend her disability payments. She was also showing off the new DIAMOND RING she had just bought. Is this what has become of the "Welfare State?" It almost makes me want to check Republican on my next voter registration form, but I don't think Dwight Eisenhower is planning on running in the next election. 
Old Ike was just poured into that uniform.

If you're an Eisenhower fan, can you tell when this photograph was taken?
only three stars, I'll guess. . .1939.
Actually, what you see here is two stars and a button. Eisenhower spent sixteen years as a Major. In a bit more than eight years he rose from the rank of Lieutenant Colonel to General of the Army, the newly created rank of five star general. He was a Major General (two stars) for only a few days more than three months, before getting his third star. This picture was taken, therefore, sometime between March and July of 1942. If anyone needed a seamstress on staff to keep his uniforms up to date, it was definitely IKE.
How many stars did he get for the federal highway system and warning us about the "military-industrial" society? I am looking for a new prescription-that button looked like a star!
Are blogs supposed to be this educational? Shouldn't posts be about who is hotter, Senator Padmé Amidala or Princess Leia?
ps, it's Princess Leia.
federalcheese is going to start regulating the amount of star wars nerds that comment
